Learn. Adapt. Build. - The LAB

★★★★Angela H

My daughter started coming to this gym when it was Ninja Nation, and it has always been one of her favorite places. I want to give special recognition (and 5 stars) to Charlie for honoring our prior investment and for taking the time to speak with me about the changes to the business. His willingness to listen and engage meant a lot. I love the vision of creating a space for the entire family, including a toddler area, a workspace for parents, and opportunities for adults to work out while their children participate. It’s a thoughtful and innovative concept that sets this facility apart. Four stars for the pricing. While I understand the current business model may not support lower rates or class packages, I do feel the cost may be prohibitive for many average families. I hope the owners will consider additional membership options in the future to make this wonderful resource accessible to more people. That said, because we believe in what this place offers, we plan to continue attending during the summers on the month-to-month plan, and for individual camp days. We appreciate the coaches’ dedication to fitness, personal growth, and providing fun, challenging experiences for our kids.

My 5 year old son absolutely loves Learn Adapt Build in Glendale. We originally signed him up because we wanted an activity that would help him stay active, build confidence, and challenge himself, but the results have exceeded our expectations. The coaching staff does an incredible job working with kids and creating an environment where they feel supported, motivated, and excited to learn. The training system they use is structured in a way that keeps children engaged while constantly helping them improve their strength, coordination, focus, and problem solving skills. The progress my son has made in a relatively short amount of time has been amazing. He is stronger, more confident, and looks forward to every class. One of the funniest things is that he now walks around showing off his little biceps everywhere we go because he is so proud of what he has accomplished. Seeing that kind of confidence in a young child is priceless. What stands out most is how much fun he has. He never sees it as a chore or workout. To him it feels like an adventure, and that is a credit to the coaches and the positive culture they have built. If you are looking for a kids fitness program, obstacle course training, ninja warrior training, or a place in Glendale where children can build confidence while having fun, I highly recommend Learn Adapt Build. It has been one of the best investments we have made for our son, and we are grateful to be part of such an amazing community.

Initially we LOVED The LAB (We started back when it was Ninja Nation)- we took our toddler aged son to the "Mini Heroes" class on Saturday mornings. The class was so well structured for his age group, my son absolutely loved it, and the weekly rate was very reasonable. However, with the ownership change came changes to the rates/membership and the results were very disappointing. We were promised age-group classes would now be offered daily which was why we agreed to the membership and even added my younger daughter when they told us they'd have a class for her as well. Each week got more disappointing after that when we would repeatedly show up during the week and there would not be a class designated for my son's age group and instead he would be thrown in with kids sometimes more than twice his age. This was visibly frustrating for him and the other kids in his class. Additionally, the Saturday classes which were initially designated for his age group became less and less structured and instructive and seemed more and more just like "free play". And the class for my daughter never came to fruition and ultimately we just had to go out on the floor with her during open gym times. We sadly discontinued our membership. I think the concept here is so great, but they failed to deliver on the promises of the new membership model and it ultimately it was way too much money for what we got out of it. Shoutout to some of the great coaching staff though who were so patient and helpful with our kids!

We cannot say enough good things about Learn. Adapt. Build.. From day one, it’s been clear that the staff are genuinely passionate about the kids. They’re driven, motivational, and truly inspirational—not just coaches, but mentors. They’ve created an environment that is both encouraging and competitive in the best way. The kids are pushed to grow, but always supported. It’s the kind of place where confidence is built alongside strength and skill. We’ve seen incredible progress in our boys—not just in their ninja abilities, but in their discipline, focus, and mindset outside the facility too. That says everything. The gym itself is very clean, modern, and well-run. It’s also ESA-friendly, which makes it accessible for more families. If you’re looking for a place where kids will thrive, grow, and be surrounded by positive leadership, this is it. Highly recommend.

They provided an AMAZING field trip opportunity for our 2nd grade students. The staff is incredible with students and were able to challenge our group to have fun and do their best. They went above and beyond with a few challenges that we had that day. It was a super easy trip to book and PJ made things smooth for getting everything ready for our trip. We will be back!
